Project Title: Mental Health Support & Leadership Development for LGBTQ Youth
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
We respectfully request your consideration of a grant of $7,500 to support our LGBTQ Mental Health & Leadership Development Project. Funding will be directed to defray the direct costs associated with this program to serve more than 245 youth ages 13 to 20 in Miami-Dade County in one year.<\/p>\n
LGBTQ young people face unique challenges that impact their well-being and development. This is not inherent in being LGBTQ, but rather a result of the mistreatment and stigmatization that many LGBTQ young people experience within their families, at school, and in other spaces in the community. These challenges lead to LGBTQ youth in Miami being 4x more likely to attempt suicide than their peers.<\/p>\n
To support our youth in achieving a full and healthy development, in 2025 we will provide 145 LGBTQ youth and their families with direct Mental Health Services through five core efforts, facilitated by licensed clinicians: Care Coordination, Individual Counseling, Group Counseling, Referrals & Navigation, and Family Support Services. As a result, 90% of youth served will increase overall resilient capacities and proactive coping skills. Youth will also decrease overall scores of symptoms of anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n
Through our Leadership Development initiatives, we will inspire 100 LGBTQ youth to action and deliver 30 youth-centered trainings and educational programs to the community. These efforts provide LGBTQ youth with the opportunity to develop as leaders, critical thinkers, and community activists by learning about LGBTQ history, systems of oppression, community organizing strategies, and political conscious raising on local, state, and policy levels. Each year\u2019s class of leaders also identifies and implements a project specific to their community’s needs. In 2024, our youth leaders choose to focus on the growing violence facing the LGBTQ community, and developed a month-long social media campaign that began here:
